Not like your regular sandy beaches, Kalamies provides vacationers with a day on the beach, of a different kind. Bring along a foldable chair and an umbrella and the possibilities are endless. Cliffs along the beach run into the blue water. The combination of the green cover on the cliffs against the clear blue sky leaves an everlasting impression on your mind. As the water ripples through the pebbled beach and reaches your feet, its gurgling noise is music to the ears. The sun shines on a wide beach with a wonderful view of the green hills nearby. Water splashing against the rocks of these cliffs is the only distraction on this -otherwise- heavenly place. Boats of local fishermen and sponge divers interrupt the view momentarily providing a peek into the lives of the people of this sleepy hamlet.<\/p>\n
